European Incubator Programme "Impact Hackathon"
April 2026
🇪🇪 Our partner organisation Social Enterprise Estonia organised an 11-day Impact Hackathon, bringing together 20 social startups and initiatives from Estonia, the Netherlands, and Germany. Social Impact supported the incubator programme with three coaches and also joined the jury for the final pitching event.
Throughout the programme, all teams worked intensively on solutions addressing a wide range of social and environmental challenges, including biodiversity and climate action, neighbourhood support, community skill-sharing, burnout prevention and mental health, promoting bilingualism among children, social justice, improving labour market integration, advancing gender equality and the visibility of women in STEM research and careers, as well as strengthening resilience in rural communities and civil protection.
The winner of the final pitch was Soyl Food from Estonia – a startup initiative that revitalises depleted soils to improve crop yields. 🎉
